Libreoffice is not my first choice for document preparation, but I use it only because I need to collaborate with people who use MS Office. I’ve had no problems that weren’t easy to fix.

Please don’t take this as one of the rude responses you refer to above - that is not my intent.
Why do you want to use Mint in the first place? The only thing that distinguishes Mint from any other Debian derivative, is that they have made all these software choices for you, and you don’t have to do anything to get your system ready for you to be productive. It’s aimed at folks who don’t want to think at all about any of the concerns you have about customizing.
If you don’t like the choices Mint has made, there is literally no reason to choose it. Start with a minimal version of Debian, and add whatever you want. The end result will be the same as starting with Mint and swapping things out. The only difference will be the address of your repositories.
If you can give a reference to any such book, I’d be very interested to see it.
Most of what you said is exactly my point. It’s true the word Linux, used properly, refers to a kernel and not an operating system. But that’s not the way the word is used in practice, and it is not what OP meant when they used it. They meant " an OS with the Linux kernel and GNU userspace utilities." When the word Linux is used that way, Android is not Linux.
they are operating systems that use the linux kernel, just like GNU/Linux (aka “Linux”) does.
kernel != operating system
For better or worse the more correct name GNU/Linux did not catch on and is universally shortened to Linux. Android uses the Linux kernel, but is not GNU/Linux, and therefore is not Linux.
Exactly. In other words, they have not been “allowed to infest” the fediverse.
